CFPB issues spring 2018 rulemaking agenda

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has issued its spring 2018 rulemaking agenda in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, under which federal agencies must publish regulatory agendas twice each year. A CFPB blog post said the Bureau has been voluntarily participating in the Unified Agenda, which is led by the Office of Management and Budget and which includes rulemaking actions in pre-rule, proposed rule, final rule, long-term, inactive, and completed stages.

According to the post, Bureau leadership is prioritizing the following activities during the coming months: (1) meeting specific statutory responsibilities; (2) continuing selected rulemakings that were already underway; (3) reconsidering two regulations issued under the prior leadership
